No,it's not running at that power level continously, or even close. It would be running somewhere in the 70-80 range on an average load, but there are also idle times in that hour. 4 would be it's average consumption... The official test on that engine, on PTO work was 15.5 or something like that. This one is turned, so who knows exactly what it's making. In a real world comparison, I've run a Deere 4440 on the same harvester, chopped mabey 20-25% more feed in that period of time, and burnt 8 gph. The tandem truck with the 400 Cummins, hauling the chop from that harvester was burning less fuel... and the truck was going balls to the wall too. I drove the truck mostly; that's how I know. Deere's have never been known for being easy on fuel around here, even with the guys that own them.
